Cookie
23 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
12 cup firmly packed brown sugar
14 cup sugar
14 cup honey
2 14 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
12 teaspoon ground ginger
14 teaspoon ground nutmeg
14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2
Combine butter, brown sugar and sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add honey and egg; continue beating until well mixed, scraping bowl if necessary. Add all remaining cookie ingredients; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 3
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 4
Combine powdered sugar and enough orange juice for desired spreading consistency in bowl; mix until smooth. Spread frosting over cooled cookies.
Honey keeps these cookies soft and chewy, making them ideal for the cookie jar.
Honey adds another layer of flavor to cookies and makes breads and rolls turn out tender.
